RLuNDERs BY JURIEs.


 Every week brings up some case which shows the absurd fallacy of our jury system. The idea that twelve men must be unanimous in opinion before the truth of any question can be ar rived at, is ridiculous. Fools are so com mon that one of them is almost sure to creep into any set of twelve men se- lected hap hazard. The cranks that disturb the finding of juries may be conscientious men and good law abid- ing citizens in their way, but they have dislocated understandings; they are not amendable to arguments and the more they are reasoned with, the more they are determined tofollow their own pig-headed opinions. Stub borness Is characteristic of stu pidity and the two generally go to- gether in the same ratio.
 The juryman who caused the trouble in the Hong Di case, seems to have been a good citizen and a man of re pute, but his mulish opposition to truth and common sense led to the most serious violation of law by an armed mob, that has taken place in the country for years, On Saturday last, at Los Angeles, the jnry disa- greed in the notorious vitrol throwing case, in which Mrs. Roselle was de- fendant. It is not intended here to speak of the merits of this case, but only to regret that all of it's objection able details should have to be thrust under the nostrils of the public again, simply because the officer who sum moned the jury was unfortunate enough to run against one of the many cranks whose chief business in life seems to be, to differ with their fellow men at every possible oPPortu- nity, -, -#,-..-..
 But the most serious objection to our present system is the. facilities it offers for corruption. In some of our larger cities it has become cheaper to buy juryman than to employ an able lawyer with great deal more certain, ty as to the result, and there are many attornies who obtain big fees, not on account of their legal ability, but be- cause they have reputation as jury, fxers. If three-fourths of a jury could return a valid verdict, the occu- patton of these gentlemen would be gone and justice would not miscarry as often as it does now.
 The talk about the inalienable right of every man to be deemed innocent until he is found guilty by the unani. nous verdict of twelve of his peers, is sheer nonsense. What are we trying to accomplish when defendsnt is ar raigned in court before a jury, on a charge of crimel Is the jury there, simply toillustrate the principle of an individual right the prisoner is sup posed to have, which has been handed down to him from remote ages, or is the jury there for the purpose of sift- ing out the truth and awarding justicei Most decidedly the latter and no man yet has ever been able to prove that the opinion of nine men on matters of fact as shown by evidence, is less like ly to be equitable than the opinion of twelve. When our jury laws are re- modelled so that a certain majority of the twelve, shall either convict or ac. quit, the opportunities for mischief by the crank and the jury-fxer, will have gone.

I A FATAL MISTAKE.


The Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
Of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account of q fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great connection among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment Of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescnbable dis
tress in the stomach, q feeling
that has been described as q
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
o cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Thenfollowed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re.
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, q
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosavet the patients
life an operation was justif.
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1888, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence Of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DR..
Arms, Dr. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwen of the Police
Board. The operation consist.
ed III laying open the cavity
Of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin
alton of the organs was made,
but to tile horror and dismay
of the doctors there was nc
cancer to be found. The pa.
tient did not have n cancer.
When too latethe medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and diet
in a few hours. How sad i
must be for the husband of Thu
poor woman to know that hi
wife died from the effects of
surgical operation that ough
never to have been performed
If this woman had taken tn
proper remedy for Dyspepsi
and Nervous Prostitution (fc
this was what the disease real
was), she would have been Ii

IncIade Rock island Points of Ma

tract the CHIEF Executive.
From reliable dispatches from Wash
ington it appears to be no longer doubt
that President Cleveland has already des
termined to make an extended four
through the western states in the early
autumn. If he does so, he will prob>
ably visit first Chicago. then Milwaukee,
St. Paul, and Minneapolis, returning to
Washington by way of Omaha, Atchison,
Kansas City and st. Louis The route
from ST. LOUIS east has not been decided
upon. but it will doubtless be by way of
Chicago. The president hopes to be able
to make this trip IN daylight, so as to see
the country and observe the great prog
ress of the west. 1t is his intention to
meet the people OF the western states as
president of the whole country, and not
as the representative OF one party. This
ls the way in which ne talks with those
to whom he has expressed his views upon
the subject.
Under these circumstances there can
be no point of greater significance on the
presidents journey than Rock Island
arsenal, the most important military post
in the United States and one of the most
important in the world If the president
| wishes to see the west and become
| acquainted with its natural advantages,
there could be nothing which would af.
ford him more pleasure, and profit in the
direction sought, than trip up the Mis-
sissippi from St. Louis to Rock Island
And it is safe to say that united effort
on the part of the three cities would St.
cure visit from the distinguished traveller
during his proposed western trip.
A meeting of the city councils anC
| business mems societies of the three
cities should be held as soon as possible
and committees appointed to take join
action in securing the presidents visit
1t committee could be appointed t.
personally visit Washington and impress
President Cleveland with the importanc,
of the arsenal here and the natural at
fractions of the locality he would surell
consent to pay us visit when so near
To visit the west without inspect
| ing Rock Island arsenal would certainl,
be great oversight Let our Busines

Some l soo people only were present, instead
of the l0O00 or l2,00O expected. The whole
affair was badly managed, and there was a
general suspicion that the race was a hippo
dr0me
The race WIS rowed under peculiar coudi-
tions. like the last contest The Decoration
Day race took place in binding rain, that
prevented close watch being kept Satur-
day they rowed in the dark and watching of
any kind was impossible When the race was
won by Hanlan, Gaudaur was quarter of a
mile AWAY out in the middle OF the lake. No
one on the shore could SET him, and many be-
lleved he had capslzed.
At the outset of the contest Gaudaur took
the lead, and was half length ahead as long
as the pair could be seen from the press boat.
That was scarcely more than third of the
course, for the smoke of the tugs and the
darkness speedily hid them from view They
were both pulling thirty-four strokes
TO the minute They had turned the
stake boat, and were nearly half way to the
line before the press boat was again allowed
sight Of them Hanlan was then ten lengths
ahead Of Gaudaur, who was away out of the
course and kept so, despite the friendly
shouts of the reporters. Gaudaur then
spurted in a way that showed that he might
have won the race if he had not rowed sc
| wildly.
! Gaudau finished on about equal terms
with Hanlan so far as could be judged, but
he was disqualified on account of his position,
and the race was given to Hanlan.
Mr.. St John, the hacker of Gaudaur,
stated after the contest that he had told
| Gaudaur TO row out and lose the race He
explained that he did this knowing that
| Gaudaur could not afford to attempt to wiz
when the agreement was not complied with
and the water was so much in favor o.
Hanlan. Mir. st. John said he would allow
the race to be awarded to Hanlan without &
struggle, only he wished to satisfy the people
| by showing them something for their money.
1t was nearly p. m. before the men made
their appearance prepared for the race. Th'
water was not particularly rough, though (
! fresh northwest wind was blowing.
